William Buckland (1784–1856) was an English geologist best known for his contributions to palaeontology. This volume, first published in 1823, contains Buckland's account of his influential research in Kirkland Cave, Yorkshire which demonstrated for the first time the ability of scientific analysis to reconstruct events from deep time.
